Reading Questions: Main List

You may have noticed that I’m not able to update Bookwanderer with reviews as much as I’d like. This is often due to real life getting hectic, reading a dense or long book, or some combination of those two. Well, I found this list of reading questions via Tumblr, and while I could have answered them over there, I thought it would be more appropriate to address them on my book blog! This way, even when I don’t have a ton of time to update, I can answer a question and feel as though I’m still being a good blogger. I’m going to keep the list here for safe-keeping, and every so often will answer a few, linking back to this list as I go. Feel free to swipe the questions and answer them in the comments or on your own blog!
